    How do I get SSL on my email?



  5. Ben Moulson on September 15, 2021 at 10:25 pm

    Hi Stewart awesome video. For me unfortunately, the error message “Authentication failed” is not resolved by the troubleshoot you described. I’ve checked UN and PW, ensured the correct security settings but no joy. Wondering if you can think of anything else it might be. Thanks again for the great content!



  6. Brandy Garner on September 15, 2021 at 10:26 pm

    Thank you for this video!!



  7. Seta Kuruira on September 15, 2021 at 10:27 pm

    Hi Stewart, thanks for the great video. Sending is fine, when replying on the same email it goes to my spam. What could be the issue? Thanks



  8. Aaron George on September 15, 2021 at 10:27 pm

    So does doing this allow for its own inbox or will all emails sent and received just be converted to regular gmail?



  9. Jerica C on September 15, 2021 at 10:28 pm

    Can you set up a business email with this method without creating a domain? Or do you have to have the domain?



  10. TeleAle on September 15, 2021 at 10:28 pm

    Thank you, I want to start making youtube videos soon so I need an email, thanks!

    It take money to create a domain name. I have no debit card or anything like that so how can I create in free could you please help me to create a professional Gmail account
    Requesting with big hope sir



  16. Esther Dupervil on September 15, 2021 at 10:38 pm

    Thanks for this video- if your domain ends with ".net" do you still leave that on the SMTP server or do you change it to ".com" as you had? I am having issues pushing pass this screen. My password is correct I quadruple checked.



  17. CravCave on September 15, 2021 at 10:38 pm

    when I turned on less secure apps Its still giving me the error. any fixes?

  20. Sapiens Co. on September 15, 2021 at 10:42 pm

    Is it still valid if I use a domain I already bought from another place?



  21. YogaSri M on September 15, 2021 at 10:43 pm

    Thanks very much 😃! This is so useful. So the Domain I’m buying here can be used to develope a website too? My doubt is I right now have a website under developement in Wix. Shall I connect this domain there for my website address?



  22. Neriliz Soto on September 15, 2021 at 10:45 pm

    Your video is extremely helpful. Thank you very much.



  23. Eleazar on September 15, 2021 at 10:47 pm

    Google does not support my domain extension ".tt" what can I do to get the email forwarding?



  24. BISWA das on September 15, 2021 at 10:47 pm

    Can i send mail.. With this business mail



  25. Betsy Rubalcaba on September 15, 2021 at 10:48 pm

    In order to tranfers your domain does it have to be bought thru Google? I’m having trouble here



  26. mankaran singh on September 15, 2021 at 10:48 pm

    how much space we get on it?



  27. Ashley Jenkins on September 15, 2021 at 10:49 pm

    This was the easiest video to understand! Thank you!



  28. Amanda Johnston on September 15, 2021 at 10:52 pm

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. So grateful I found you 🙏🏻



  29. Ivan Ricardez on September 15, 2021 at 10:53 pm

    I kept thinking my only option for a business email would be to pay for a website domain that was going to be at least $60+/yr. For my purpose a website is unnecessary so I was reluctant to sign up. I came across your video and successfully registered my business emails for a total of $12/yr.
    Thank you so much!!



  30. Charles Ball on September 15, 2021 at 10:54 pm

    This is excellent, Stewart! Thanks very much. Your steps and explanation were perfect! I followed them easily, but I hit a snag with the SMTP authentication. The solution was to create an App password and enter it where the SMTP screen asked for the email password… in case anyone else had the same issue.



  31. Timothy Skippings on September 15, 2021 at 10:56 pm

    Can the business email be attached to multiple Gmail accounts i.e. two or more employees within the business?



  32. Pazel Support on September 15, 2021 at 10:57 pm

    Thank you so much, this worked!

  35. Momar Ngum on September 15, 2021 at 11:02 pm

    I got stuck at the less secure app stage. I turned on my less secured app on. I still cannot continue because is saying I have a wrong password or turn on less secured app. My password is correct.



  36. BISWA das on September 15, 2021 at 11:02 pm

    I follow step by step but it is not happening



  37. Faisal Ali Ahmed on September 15, 2021 at 11:04 pm

  38. Sheena Jackson on September 15, 2021 at 11:05 pm

    This was amazing! Is there a work around for when you just purchased your domain and you get an error that the domain has to be registered for 60 days?



  39. King Isha on September 15, 2021 at 11:06 pm

    unfortunately im unable to get past the yellow page step even with the correct password. .. don’t know what To do

    I keep getting a message saying,"Your other email provider is responding too slow, please try again later.’ Ive been trying for a few weeks now and no further on. If you could shed any light, that would be great, thanks for the fantastic content .

  44. Cynthia Civil on September 15, 2021 at 11:14 pm

    Hi, for some reason it does not work for me. I turned on less secure apps and it still does not allow me to add my business domain. Do you have any idea why is that?



  45. Pyrozen on September 15, 2021 at 11:14 pm

    Can "existing recipient email" be an OUTLOOK EMAIL?



  49. Saru Thilageswaran on September 15, 2021 at 11:16 pm

    Setup for Free he said. Starts the video paying for a domain 2:06 … so misleading
